Concierge.com's insider take:
Chic hotels are such a new idea in this neighborhood that guests often have to show taxi drivers the way, but this 11-room jewel box is worth the effort to find. The neighborhood is Psyrri, once the haunt of the downtrodden and the unsavory, but now a fast-rising, if still somewhat bohemian, center of Athens's most happening bars and nightclubs. And Ochre & Brown is only a block or so from the heart of it. The hotel is within easy walking distance of central Athens's most interesting sites, including the Parthenon, about ten minutes away. While minimalist-cool stylish, the rooms are small, the best of them being the junior suite, with a terrace view, barely, of the Parthenon. The breakfast (no buffet, this) and the service make up for it, though, with the kind of pampering one would expect when there are less than a dozen rooms to look after.
